Insigne Insularum Materiae (Portugal) (Coat of Arms) Shot Glass - Design Description

This shot glass showcases the heraldic splendor of the "Insigne Insularum Materiae," representing the Coats of Arms of Portugal's autonomous regions. The artwork encapsulates the essence of both Madeira and the Azores, offering a visual journey through their storied past.

Madeira Design

The design for Madeira features a striking blue shield bisected by a prominent golden vertical stripe, upon which rests a vivid red Cross of Christ. This central emblem, the Cross of the Order of Christ, symbolizes the island's deep-rooted connection to Portuguese exploration and maritime history. Two meticulously rendered Mediterranean monk seals, gracefully positioned as supporters, flank the shield, emphasizing the unique fauna and the importance of conservation on this Atlantic island. Above, a regal gold armillary sphere forms the crest, echoing Portugal's Age of Discovery legacy.

Azores Design

The Azores’ design presents a silver shield, dominated by a majestic blue goshawk, a bird native to the archipelago. A vibrant red bordure, adorned with nine gold stars, encircles the shield, each star representing one of the nine islands that comprise the Azores. Two powerful black bulls, acting as supporters, are depicted, each holding a symbolic banner. The dexter bull bears a banner featuring the Order of Christ's cross, while the sinister bull's banner showcases a dove, representing peace and the Holy Spirit. A goshawk issuant from a gold coronet tops the design, echoing the central motif and reinforcing the islands' enduring spirit of freedom.

Together, these two distinct designs on one shot glass offer a powerful visual representation of the Portuguese autonomous regions, each a symbol of pride, history, and cultural significance.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
